History of Lulur in the Land of Java
Scrub made from a mixture of spices, scrubs to smooth the skin have been known for a long time. The tradition of scrubbing itself has been carried out by the daughters of the king on the island of Java. The scrub process is believed to be the best method in maintaining skin health and beauty. The king's daughter usually does a body scrub twice a week if she wants to make the marriage happen, the king's daughter does a body scrub every day for 40 days in a row. The use of the scrub starts from the feet with a Balinese massage and then after that it is smeared with a traditional Javanese scrub.
The ingredients mixed in the scrub are rice, nuts, turmeric root, ginger, cinnamon, and crushed sandalwood powder. After mixing the ingredients, add a little water and a few drops of jasmine flower oil to make the granules smooth. When it is dry, rub the mixture on the skin which has the effect of removing dead skin cells and then rinse using warm water taken with coconut shells.
The final stage of the scrub is soaking in the pool which has been sprinkled with fragrances such as jasmine, tuberose, frangipani, kecapiring, and ylang. In Kraton Jogja, there is a bath for the king and queen, namely Tamansari, while in Bali there is a bath for Tirta Gangga.
